BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita (City) City Hall was constructed in 1986 and acquired by the City in 1991. The building is roughly 74,000 square feet. It serves as the central facility for various City departments, playing a vital role in supporting daily City operations and public services.
In 2011, the City Council approved the acquisition of the public libraries from Los Angeles County, which included the Valencia Library branch. The facility is roughly 24,000 square feet of public, office, and meeting space. It is one of three library locations owned and operated by the City, and provides services to the Valencia and Saugus communities.
As part of the City’s ongoing effort to rehabilitate older facilities, the City Hall & Valencia Library Window Seal & Wall Joint Repair Project will replace deteriorating window and wall joint seals at City Hall, and wall joint seals at the Valencia Library. Currently, these issues are being addressed on a case-by-case basis, as the need arises, often during storm events. Replacing all seals at once is necessary to protect and extend the life of these important City facilities. The repairs will help prevent moisture intrusion and minimize disruptions to services during extreme weather. This project supports the Santa Clarita 2025 Strategic Plan theme of Sustaining Public Infrastructure. The funding for this project was approved with the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Annual Budget.
An invitation to bid was published and circulated via the City’s e-procurement system, BidNet, on April 1, 2025. The City transmitted the solicitation to 494 vendors on BidNet, of which 30 vendors downloaded materials. Six bids were submitted and opened on May 2, 2025. The results of the bids are shown below.
Company Location Bid Amount
Western Specialty Contractors Orange, CA $210,100
Angelus Waterproofing and Restoration, Inc. Huntington Beach, CA $384,777 Harbor Coating and Restoration Orange, CA $446,000
Color New Corp. Woodland Hills, CA $506,000
Jermax Construction, Inc. San Fernando, CA $515,000
Perfection Painting Corp. Palmdale, CA $535,000
Upon reviewing the bids, staff determined the response from the apparent low bidder, Western Specialty Contractors, to be non-responsive due to an invalid bid schedule submission.
Therefore, staff recommends the project be awarded to Angelus Waterproofing and Restoration, Inc. (Angelus), the second lowest responsive bidder. This contractor possesses a valid state contractor’s license and is in good standing with the Contractor State License Board.
Furthermore, the bid from Angelus was reviewed for accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and was found to be complete.
The requested construction contingency will cover the cost of unforeseen site conditions, potential utility conflicts, and any change order requests made by the City.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Upon approval of the recommended action, adequate funds in the amount of $428,500 are available in the City Hall & Valencia Library Window Seal & Wall Joint Repair, Project M1044, expenditure accounts M1044309-516101 (Public Library Fund) and M1044601-516101 (General Fund - Capital) to support the recommended contract and associated project costs.
